Camber Sands is a huge, glorious stretch of sand, backed by massive dunes, just 4 miles away, or less if you walk/cycle. Take a bucket and spade, learn to kitesurf, or just sit outside the beach cafes with a cup of tea and watch the world go by.

There’s a regular bus service from Rye to Camber Sands so you don’t need a car to get there from the town.

Dungeness is a wild, remote stretch of shingle, where hardy homeowners, rare birdlife and a massive power station live in harmony. Visit the lighthouse, covet the innovative architecture, and ride the miniature railway.
